Choosing Wisely Ontario

Choosing Wisely Ontario is a campaign to help clinicians and patients talk about unnecessary tests and treatments.

It is part of the broader Choosing Wisely Canada campaign, which has developed over 300 recommendations for tests and treatments that clinicians and patients should question.

Over 70 health care organizations nationally have already taken steps to put many of these recommendations into practice.

The focus of Choosing Wisely Ontario - led by Health Quality Ontario and Choosing Wisely Canada - is to encourage widespread adoption of these recommendations across Ontario’s hospitals, primary care clinics and long-term care homes, and to provide tools and supports in several high priority areas.
